Brighton’s problem, surprisingly, has been in defense. The loaded Seagulls back line has kept just one clean sheet, that coming against Newcastle in its lone win. They also have not been held off a score sheet.

What they’re saying ahead of Brighton – Burnley
Graham Potter on Neal Maupay missing a start: “Sometimes mistakes are made, things are said and the line is crossed. It’s about how you react. There is no problem with Neal. He accepts it wasn’t his finest hour. We’ve dealt with it and moved forward and he is training with the group. We’ve all made mistakes, and now we’re stronger for it. That is part of life and part of growing up as a person. We just have to help and support each other and move forward.”
Sean Dyche on getting Mee back in the fold: “It’s not just about Ben but he’s earned his spurs here over many years, he’s a player that virtually all the time I’ve been here has been on my team sheet. He’s earned the right to be an important player but I mustn’t take away from other players.”
